Currently, I'm a student of Varna University of Management.
Regarding my experience in visiting different kind of business schools, process related to one of my researches, as well as interviewing different students about the policies of their schools, the efficiency of their lectures held, the appropriate assessment of their assignments, and the overall effectiveness of the subjects set in their schedules, I can proudly ascertain that Varna University of Management is the number one business school in Bulgaria.

This academic master’s programme teaches students to analyse the functioning of corporations and other organisations from a clear microeconomic perspective, both internally and in the market context in which they operate. The programme places a strong emphasis on an analytical and quantitative approach and way of thinking so that graduates are able to conduct research in Business Economics subjects.

In the Competition Law and Economics track, students of the Business Economics Master’s programme learn to understand the intricacies of competition and the regulations that govern it. This one year research based Master programme has a strong international focus on the functioning of organisations in regulated competitive environments.

First semester

Students start with two foundation courses on business behaviour: Strategy and either Markets & Organisations or Advanced Industrial Organisation.

Parallel to this they gain knowledge in the specialisation courses Applied Econometrics and European Competition Law. Courses in law will be taught at the Faculty of Law, which gives them opportunity to interact with another discipline.

At the end of the semester, they are fully prepared to take on the applied course Empirical Market Analysis.

Second semester

The second semester starts with the two complementary specialisation courses: Competition Policy and Applied Industrial Organization. These focus on several landmark competition cases and the economic theory of harm that is at the heart of them. Students learn to apply theoretical and empirical industrial organization.

Throughout the semester, they work on your thesis research, for which we offer thesis seminars to help the processes of formulating a clear and interesting novel research project, embedded in the existing literature, developing proper models and collecting and analysing data.

Students have the freedom to integrate their thesis writing with an internship and/or a period of studies abroad. The track concludes with their submission of the final thesis in the summer.
